The Spirit of Pachamama | Informal Campsite

What a beautiful place. We stopped there for one night we felt in love. The owner Joel was SO friendly, he allowed us to sleep in a bungalow (altough it is actually close).

We slept there for free, had a bed, a shower, a oven:)

He wants to open again in june. But when you are interested to sleep there before, just write him. In the evening we had a great conversation and drank pisco together. In the morning we enjoyed a cafe with Joel. We loved this place. Beautiful view.

The way down was bit heavy, but you can manage it.

⚠️ DON'T GO ⚠️
Please read story of our friend Jorge here below. I was waiting for him to make a comment on iO before commenting myself.
My gf and I are the two other cyclists he's talking about in his comment. Joel is a sexual aggressor and planned the whole thing since the morning, since he had received a pic of Jorge and his french cycling-mate. He made us sleep in another place and told us: "See you tomorrow, I'll take care of other cyclists coming a bit later." I proposed him they could sleep with us but he said no, that he had other plans for them... and that happened... ! In the morning, Jorge was VERY traumatized... What could Joel do with other cycling boys ? And maybe girls, who know ? The place is VERY remote, so you could shout with all your force, NOBODY will hear you.

DON'T GO HERE!
I came here with a French friend, we are both cyclotourists. Just that day there were two other cyclotourists. When we arrived, around 18:15 he told us that they were already sleeping (which was a lie because the next day they told us that they were waiting for our arrival to share some time).

First he gave us the option to put the mat on a floor and soon after he offered us a bed for each of us, only that one of us had to share a room with Joel. I had no problem sharing. My friend went to bed a little earlier and I stayed with him chatting. After a while he offered me a ritual with coca leaves (supposedly this was done when the hotel was open with clients). After a while he was lying to me, that if you have to take off your shirt, then take off your pants and panties, as you are a cyclist I will do your legs, he told me. He was covered with a towel and tried to take it off when I put it back on and held it with my hand. I admit I didn't cut when I started to feel bad and uncomfortable, but I never thought he would do something like that.

Then he made me turn around and started rubbing himself on top of me touching my ass and so on, I could tell he was excited with his breathing altered. After a while he jumped on top of me, then I pulled away and he said "I'm sorry, I thought you were .....", as if to say that I liked men. It has nothing to do with being gay, I respect them deeply. In my opinion he had this totally planned, that's why he didn't want us to share with the other cyclists, that's why he offered dinner to us and the other two no...

For me he is a depraved person who took advantage of the visit of a traveler to do what his perverse mind proposed him to do. I don't want to think how I would have felt if I had been there alone with him. Do not go, be very careful with this type of people. Then the misfortunes that we all know happen.

NO VAYAN A ESTE LUGAR!!Llegue aquí con un amigo francés, ambos somos cicloviajeros. Justo ese día había dos cicloviajeros más. Al llegar, sobre las 18:15 nos dijo que estos ya estaban durmiendo (cosa que era mentira ya que al otro día estos nos dijeron que estaban esperando nuestra llegada para compartir un tiempo).Primero nos dio opción de poner la esterilla en un piso y al poco tiempo nos ofreció una cama para cada uno, solo que uno de los dos tenía que compartir habitación con el Joel. Yo no tenía problema en compartir. Mi amigo se fue un poco más temprano a dormir y yo me quedé con el charlando. Al poco me ofrece hacerme como un ritual con las hojas de coca (supuestamente esto lo hacían cuando tenían el hotel abierto con los clientes). Al poco tiempo me fue mintiendo, que si tienes que quitarte la camisa, después quítate los pantalones y calzones, como eres ciclista te voy a hacer las piernas me decía. Estaba tapado con una toalla e intento quitarla cuando yo la puse de nuevo y la aguante con la mano. Reconozco no haber cortado cuando empecé a sentirme mal e incómodo, pero nunca pensé que haría algo así. Después me hizo darme la vuelta y empezó a refregarse encima mío tocando el culo y demás, se le notaba excitado con la respiración alterada. Al tiempo se tiró encima, entonces yo me aparte y me dijo que "lo siento, pensaba que eras .....", como queriendo decir que me gustaban los hombres. No tiene nada que ver el ser gay, los respeto profundamente. En mi opinión tenía esto totalmente planeado, por eso no quiso que compartiéramos con los otros ciclistas, por eso nos ofreció cena a nosotros y a los otros dos no......Para mi es un deprabado que aprovecho la visita de un viajero para hacer lo que su perversa mente le propuso hacer. No quiero pensar como me habría sentido de estar allí solo con el. No vayan, tengan mucho cuidado con este tipo de gente. Después pasan las desgracias que todos conocemos

The Spirit of Pachamama is/was a beautiful hotel and restaurant. It is now closed but Joel (the owner) is happy to welcome travellers to camp or possibly stay in a room there until he has sold the property. It's down a bit of a rough rocky track to get there but (for me on a bicycle) totally worth the effort! It's gloriously peaceful. The rooms have wood-burning stoves and fabulously hot showers. And the views are spectacular.
